MFW Fall 2015: Why Dolce & Gabbana are the best mammas' boys there ever were

Dolce & Gabbana's touching tribute the Mother, spelled out. Photos courtesy of ImaxTree.com. If anyone has ever wanted to know what it's like to date an Italian mamma's boy,
Dolce & Gabbana's recent--albeit exquisite--Fall 2015 collection is a pretty good indicator of what your life would be like as second fiddle to his number one woman. The entire production—from the models, including a pregnant Bianca Balti in a very flattering, very D&G maternity dress, to the soundtrack featuring Spice Girls' "Mama"— was a tribute to the mother, the heart of the Italian famiglia. So where do you fit in, you who has fallen for a good Italian boy? Let's take a closer look at the collection to find out.

Here, we see a classic D&G dress inscribed with a phrase that translates to "Mom, you are my queen". From this we can gather that, should you be lucky enough to occupy a place in Giovanni's heart, you can bet that his mother will never be dethroned. Moving on.

There is no love like that of (Italian) boy and his mamma.

Above, we see another beautifully tailored cocktail dress that reads, "For the most beautiful mother in the world". If the message portraying the sanctity of this bond isn't clear enough, the designers have also showcased looks featuring the Madonna and Child, like good Italian Catholic boys.

This look is everything.

Lastly, I present my favourite look of the collection, which, in true D&G fashion, marries the tradition of ultra-luxe craftsmanship with the sex appeal of the Italian bombshell. I like to think of this look as the badass mom picking up her little bambino from daycare. Thus the cycle continues.

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this post are by a daughter and sister to Italian mammas' boys. She has also dated and loved many in the past—and will probably continue to do so in the future.

Rihanna is over people creating a competition between her and Beyoncé

The Rihanna Navy and the Beyhive have been on not-so-friendly terms on social media following the announcement of the 2017 Grammy Awards nominations.

Although RiRi expressed gratitude for her whopping eight nods, the Navy felt that she was snubbed after Anti didn't receive a nom for Album of the Year over Beyoncé's Lemonade. Naturally, Bey's fans wasted no time in coming to the defence of their Queen.

But Rihanna quickly cleared things up on the 'gram, commenting on a fan's photo, "I'm petty af, yes. But this is just unnecessary! I wish y'all would drop this topic and see things from the bigger picture! We don't need to be putting black women against each other! We deserve to be celebrated and the Grammy Academy agrees!"

The Madonna Carpool Karaoke is here in all its glory

This Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke really needs no introduction. Madonna did what she did best – slay – on the segment with James Corden. In fact, she might be the only celebrity so far who did a full-body performance in her seat, complete with leg kicks and twerks.

Frank + Oak and the NBA team up on Raptors merch

Canadian fashion label Frank + Oak is always up to something, and tomorrow the Montreal-based brand will drop a 9-piece Raptors collection in collaboration with the NBA. The pieces that make up the line are directional, minimal and best of all—unisex. The pieces include a crisp Oxford shirt patterned with a subtle team logo, a heather grey waffle knit mock-neck and a leather backpack. The coolest piece might be the two-tone pop-over shirt. The Oxford's mock-neck collar and mix of materials offer a completely new take on fan gear. Even fair-weather fans (hey, no judgement) will be tempted by this sleek collab.

The collection will launch tomorrow online and at Frank + Oak's Queen West and CF Sherway Gardens outposts as well as the Real Sports Apparel shop at the Air Canada Center. The brand is set to release merch for 5 more NBA teams in 2017. Until then, go Raptors, go!
